Woman Unsexing Herself.

A dealer in cigarettes tells me that
he has been doing a considerable and a
growing trade with women. Not only
with women, moreover, but with the
very class of the sex my modiste's pro-
fessional modesty has been put to the
test by. He sells, he assures me,
very noteworthy amount of cigarettes
to girls of the seminary age and young
women. The consumption of cigar
cites by married women has already
become so settled fact that he scarce
ly notices it, except as regular part
of his business. Only the other day l
had note from an under teacher in
one of the most fashionable girls
schools in the city, complaining of the
extent to which cigarette smoking was
carried by pupils. If an under-teaeher
can find these things oui, it seems to
me that the principals certainly should.
and the people who have girls under
the care of these Establishments should
certainly see to it that they do.
The sex seems possessed with mad
ness for unsexing itself. A false chic
has put a premium on vices women
once abhorred. The privileges that
were the trademark for the basest and
most profigate are now asserted by the
schoolgirl and the matron who holds
herself as soiled if her skirts but touch
the hem of Phryne's gown. I haven't
the slightest objection to the cigarette.

amounts to, with the varnish of the fad

Dockage Of Wheat on Account of Dirt.

A dispatch from Duluth says: Railroad
Com missioners Austin, Gibbs and Brecker,
Secretary Warner, OF the commission. and
Chief Inspector James paid visit to Du-
luth. Their chief object was in connection
with the complaints about the dockage
here for dirt. They visited the elevators
and made thorough investigation, and
express themselves as perfectly satisfied
that the inspectors here are doing
justice to all. A practical test was made
that was certainly convincing. O. E.
Jones. commission man, received a cor OF
wheat, Car No. 3646, st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis & Manitoba road. which Inspector She
ly marked to be docked six pounds per
bushe for cleanings. Mr.. Jones declared
that dockage was simply outrageous and
thought two and a hall or three pounds
sufficient. Thereupon Mr.. Shelly propos-
ed test before the commissioners. This
was agreed to, and the test was made at
at Elevator d recently. Before the
first cleaning the car weighed &c.
600 pounds and afterwards 33, $50
showing shrinkage OF 3, 800 pounds. On
the second cleaning the shrinkage was
$50 pounds. and the third 16O, total
OF 4, $50 pounds. The weight OF 1.-THE screen.
ings removed after the third cleaning was
3,4O4 pounds. and of dirt carried away
SAG. The shrinkage from the three clean
ings was about TX pounds to the bushel,
and the wheat required several more, but
the commissioners said they did not care
to see any more, that was enough. Out of
one car OF wheat from the Northern Pacif-
ic. containing 712 bushels, 237h bushels
OF dirt was taken out.

Mr.. Gladstone, Declines an Invitation to the
Philadelphia Centennial, and Extols the Ameri.
can Constitution.
Mr.. Gladstone made reply, and assured
the committee Of the great honor he felt
in receiving an invitation to the celebra-
tion OF the centenary OF Americas consti-
tuition. His letter continues:
The attraction of the invitation is
enhanced to me by the circumstance
that I have always regarded that
constitution as the mrst remark
able known to the modern times to have
been produced by human intellect at a
single stroke. so to speak, in it's applica-
ton to political affairs. The invitation
is acc ccompanied by every accessory that
even American hospitality could devise.

but accept, but the limitation Of my
strength and time, and the incessant pres
sure OF engagements make m too well
aware that have none. So ia las can
see the whole small residue of activity at
my command will be dedicated to the

Sleeping Cars on Horse Railroad

The longest street tramway in the
world will be that which is to connect
a number of towns near Buenos Ayres,
South America, and which will have a
total length of 200 miles. The road
will also be exceptional in that sleeping
cars will be run upon it for the comfort
Of the passengers. Horses win be en-
ployed as motive power instead of
steam, because horses are cheap, fuel
is dear and the people are slow. The
price of two tons of coal will buy o
horse with its harness. The sleeping
cars and all the other equipments OF
the line are being supplied by Phila.
delphia company.

NEWS IN BRIEF.
Railroad Indemnity Lands In Wisconsin,.

Railroad Indemnity Lands In WISCONSIN,
James II. Howe, general solicitor OF the
Omaha Company, was asked in st. Paul
about the reports tolegraphed concerning
the lands, and said
There are probably forty or fifty land
grant roads in the West in all parts OF the
country from Texas to Canada. Most OF
these roads have not finished their lines
within the time specified by the law max
ing the grant. 1t was at first supposed
that the lands was forfeited, but the su.
preme court OF the United State decided.
sight or ten years dgo. that such lands
we're not forfeited until the government
did something toward taking them back,
or, in other words. until declared forfeit
ed by congress. The railroads sold lands
in advance OF certifcations to the railroad
company by the government-agricultur
lands to farmers, grazing lands to stock
men, and timber lands to lumbermen.
Last winter congress passed wise and
Just law permitting anybody who had
bought land oi any railroad company
the title to which failed through the land
not being included in the grant as ulti-
mately determined, or for other reasons
to perfect his title by going to the nearest
United States land office entering the
land and paying the government price for
it. This was done to protect actual set
lIers who had purchased land in good
taith and made improvements ts on it. Now
their title fails because Commissioner
Sparks has kept back the lists. The law
works no good to the railroad companies
as they get nothing out ofit, for the settler
has to pay the government for the land.
Ii man has bought land of II railroad
company and made improvements on it,
certainly it is not right for him to be
cheated out OF it hy reason OF de-
ieat in the title. Yet these fellows at
Eau Claire are mad because they can
not go and squat on his land. II
man has got 100000 mill on some
land which he bought, they want Il chance
to buiid u eeUia ON one corner OF 1t and
elaim the whole patch. As to the Omaha
grant, the law giving the lands to the com.
pany required it 10 sell all agricultural
lands to actual settlers at maximum
price OF $3.50 per acre. Ii there was more
than 10O, 900 feet OF timber on any forty
acres. it was elassed as timber land and
could be sold for what it would bring.
Under that law the company has
sold all the lands in the grant. OF
have bought more or less OF these lands,
and are cutting and selling the timber.
All the indemnity lands OF the Omaha
rompany are now pen,ing before the Sc
rretary OF the interior as to what shall be
certified to the State OF Wisconsin for the
road. Every acre OF it has been patented
to the road by the state, through which the
title comes. 1t is worse than nonsense to
:harge Senator Spooner with trying to cheat
anybody out OF the land. He simply fav-
pred a law which prevents those who
nave purchased lands from being cheat
ed OF it

Another Phase Of the Car Company Business.


A bill has been filed in the United States
district court at st. Paul by II. A.
Porter and r. r. Cable of Illinois against
Senator D. M. Sabin and Joseph c.
O'Gorman, the former president and audi.
tor and treasurer respectively OF the North
western Manufacturing and Car company.
Crookedness is alleged on the part OF both
Sabin and O'Gorman, all it is claimed that
the 81, 500. 900 assets OF Seymour, Sabin
Il Co., supposed to be the basis OF the COM
mon stock, had little or no real value.
When organized the car company had
about $3,OOO,O00 assets with very
little liabilities, and it is claimed
that about 100000 worth of Sey-
mour Sabin & Co.'s assets were never
transferred to the company. The papers
further state that at various times Sabin
and O'Gorman used the credit and money
of the car company to help the firm OF
Seymour. Sabin & Co., and that these
transactions were unrecorded and were
kept secret; that eleven days before the
failure there was on the car company g
book q credit to Seymour, Sabin 4 Co.
OF $4,000 that the day after
there was o debt OF $4S5,-
900, and ten days after the firm stood in
debted to the company in 81 500, OOO;that
Sabin ordered O'Gorman to make false en-
tries OF profit amounting to 1902, .9S,
when the real profit was only $22, 900.
The paper concludes by praying that the
judges in equity will compel Sabin and
O'Gorman TO account for the car company g
transactions, in order that the RESPONSE
bility may be fixed.

by direction OF the acting secretary OF the
interior, you will suspend the restoration
OF said lands until further order. This
will apply both to the main line and Bay
field branch. Instructions by mail.
MIR. Stocklager said that he had issued
this order at the direction OF the secretary
OF the interior, and did not know the reason
for it's issue. Acting Secretary Muldrow
said:
You know that the indemnity belt along
the main line from Hudson to Superior
was excluded from the order affecting the
Omaha's lands, leaving only these lands
along the Bayfield, branch affected by the
order. Inasmuch as the matter Of selec-
tion for the main line is now before the
secretary and will be decided in a few days.
/ thought it best to allow the statu quo to
remain until the order covered the whcle
line. Another reason for it was the intense
excitement prevailing along the Bayfield,
branch, where an entire misconception OF
our purposes seemed to exist. There have
been great many different theories set on
foot about these lands, all OF which are
wrong We thought best under all the cir
cumstances, therefore, to let these lands
remain as they are.
